The SERES team

In the context of big information system infrastructures, it is necessary to have powerful security mechanisms to guarantee the confidentiality and the integrity of data while ensuring the quality of service and availability.

The SERES project is interested in the mechanisms aiming at ensuring protection against internal or external attacks as well as techniques making possible to detect these attacks. More particularly, the topics studied relate to the following points :

Expression of needs, security policies and properties

Protection of networks and distributed applications

Vulnerability analysis and intrusion detection

The activities carried out in the context of this project are the following:

Modeling and formalization of concepts

Design, implementation and validation of reliable architectures and softwares as well as tools to manage security

Experimentation and evaluation of these architectures, softwares and tools
